Alright so the current system has a lot of problems. If you have thoughts on what can be done to address them, post em here so we can discuss them in a more solid format than Discord and I won't immediatley forget whatever we discuss.

The working lore for the setting can be found here. Keep in mind that the maxim 'if it isn't in the game it doesn't exist' still applies to lore that is on the wiki but isn't represented in the actual code.

If your ban is a day ban or shorter, don't bother appealing. You were given a time out, not a serious ban. If you object to the reason for the ban and believe it is excessive, making an admin complaint is probably more productive than an appeal.

Admin discretion should be applied when deciding if something requires a warning or a ban. People make mistakes.

Daybans should be applied for people who are being obnoxious or disruptive or doing anything that is line-toeing. Basic polite conduct things like racism/sexism, spamming OOC, etc. If people don't take the hint then it can be upped to a weekban etc.

Weekbans should be applied for initial offences, with an exponential increase for further cockups. One week, two weeks, a month, two months, etc.

Anything more than a month should probably just be a permaban until appeal.

If you want to use a colon, cast the var to the appropriate path instead. It's only one extra line.

New features/items go in their own folders or files if possible, this will minimize merge conflicts later.

Merge policy for PRs will be 24 hours with no complaints/controversy, or two developers signing off, whichever comes first.

Bugfixing should be a priority over features and features should be a priority over sprites, but any contribution at all is good.

First-time merge driver steup:After cloning the repo using your preferred git client (if you don't know how to use git, ask someone on Discord or make a post on this forum), either:- Run tools/mapmerge/git_merge_installer.bat and tools/dmitool/git_merge_installer.bat.OR- Add the following block to your .git/config file:

[b]Article title[/b]: Name of the article or the object path that should return it.[b]Other terms[/b]: Other search terms that should return this article.[b]Text body[/b]: The actual content of the article.

Generally what you want to shoot for is concise, pithy, and clever or funny. We're not a super serious business setting - shoot for a middle point between Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Transmetropolitan. Whether or not your content makes it into the game is going to be an informal process - if people like it, and nobody on the admin team wants to veto it for whatever reason, it'll probably go in.
